No problem; it was just a thought.  

My first MG was the 79 from which the switch you are about to recieve came 
from.  I replaced it, 
mistakenly thinking it was bad.  The problem turned out to be the ignition's 
brainbox.  I sold that car to 
get the 72 I have now.    

Chrome bumpered cars are generally considered more attractive (me included, 
obviously), but that's not the 
best thing about them, in my opinion.  The have a lower ride height (about 4" 
lower) than the rubber 
bumpers, which not only lends to appearance, but improves handling 
significantly.

By the way, don't worry about the postage.  Generally, if I have an inexpensive 
part (under $10) lying 
around that I don't see myself needing anytime soon, and can be replaced 
easily, I'll send it to an MG 
buddy who needs it.  No need to let it rot!
